1. Scan Technical Indicator improved
   The scan technical indicator setup now has a "marker size" option for specifying the size of the markers drawn in the chart window. The default is 16 pixels, the standard size used in version 3.3. Values from 4 to 64 are permitted.
2. New pop up menu for quote pages, portfolios, instrument selection controls
   Use the right-click (click with either command or ctrl key down on Macintosh) to click on a row in a quote page or portfolio to access a convenient pop up menu of functions to operate on the selected instrument in that row. The pop up menu also available throughout Investor/RT in every window that contains an "instrument selection". Examples include the Import and Export windows, the Quick Quote window, the Order Desk, etc. The pop up menu contains the following choices:
   
   Setup
   Chart
   News
   Positions
   Quick Quote
   Trading Notes
   Time and Sales
   NASDAQ Level II
   
   Setup opens the Setup Instruments window for the instrument. This is useful for adjusting alarm settings, for example.
   
   Chart opens a new chart window for the instrument. A new chart window will always be opened even if there is a chart window already open. To chart an instrument in the already opened chart window, double-click on the ticker symbol in a quote page or portfolio. The chart opened depends on the preference settings for default chart in the Charting Advanced or Charting General Preference windows.
   
   News opens a news browser showing all news items on file for the instrument. The general error sound is played and a message is displayed on the main toolbar if there is no news available for the instrument.
   
   Positions displays a list selector showing all open portfolio positions for the instrument. If there is only one position, the associated portfolio is opened immediately, otherwise the list is displayed. Close the selector or double-click on a listed position to open the associate portfolio window.
   
   Quick Quote opens a quick quote window showing a detailed quote for the selected instrument.
   
   Trading Notes opens a trading notes window showing all trading notes for the selected instrument.
   
   Time and Sales opens a Time and Sales (view/edit) window showing all trades in the instrument for the current trading session.
   
   NASDAQ Level II (when available) will open a Level II window for the selected instrument showing bids, asks and bid/ask sizes for all market makers in a NASD issue. At present Level II screens are not available in Investor/RT.
3. Instrument selection window
   The Objects menu now contains an Instruments menu item to open a simple "instrument selector" window. This window, in conjunction with the right click feature described above can be used to provide quick access to commonly requested windows for any instrument. The instrument selection window is similar to the "Add to Quote Page" window used to add issues to quote pages, and in fact, may also be used for this purpose.
4. Investor/RT now supports myTrack Internet feed
   With version 3.4, Linn Software introduces support for myTrack, an Internet based data feed service of Track Data Corporation. The myTrack service is available for either real time or delayed intra-day quotes and includes full access to all Dial/Data historical downloading services. The myTrack service includes real-time news headlines, tick data and intra-day bar data downloading. Optional services include full-text news and NASDAQ Level II. Level II screens are supported by myTrack supplied software (Windows only) that runs in parallel with Investor/RT. Level II screens will be available in Investor/RT soon for both Windows and Macintosh Investor/RT versions. For more information on the myTrack service, visit www.mytrack.com.
5. Absolute Value and Square Root functions added to scan language.
   The ABS and SQRT functions may be used in scan requests. Either function must be followed by a parenthesized numeric expression. For example, the scan request:
   
   ABS(CL1 - OP) > 4
   
   would identify all issues with an opening gap (up or down) of more than 4 points from the previous day's close. To accomplish the same thing WITHOUT the ABS function, you would have to compose a scan request something like:
   
   CL1 - OP > 4 OR CL1 - OP < -4
   
   The SQRT function calculates the square root of the parenthesized expression that follows it. For example,
   
   SQRT( (HI-LO)**2 + (HI1-LO1)**2 + (HI2 - LO2)**2) > 1.5
   
   identifies issues for which the square root of the sum of the squares of the daily ranges for three days is greater than 1.5.
